thank you for doing this podcast
UPDATE: i hope that 2025 and beyond brings nothing but good things to you all. thank you for recapping even though it might be hard because i understand that some of the things that were entertaining for the viewers were literally traumatizing for the cast members. i love this podcast and i am really excited to hear you guys recap seasons five and six. if producer annie was still on, you should have her on if possible. again, thank you for doing this podcast even though it might be hard. tbh, christi and kelly are the best duo. UPDATE: thoughts and prayers for kelly. i think we all hope that she can stay out of the hospital and be healthy. thoughts and prayers to kelly and her family.

Disappointed
This past episode was hard to listen to. The language and making fun of Abby is not impressive. I understand yโ€™all have your own reasons as to why you do not speak to Abby and I respect that but making jabs about her weight, her hygiene is very high school like and disrespectful. You need to be careful as she could accuse you of slander. Your podcast should be recapping episodes and not having guests come on so that you can bash Abby. You all sound like immature teenagers. Iโ€™m sorry but Itโ€™s time to move on.

Great podcast, butโ€ฆ
I want to say I am a long time listener and I love the show and this podcast is great! I love hearing all the BTS and tea and banter between Christi and Kelly. However, I just listened to the episode you did with Ed, and I think it was weird to leave in the part where he said Ava was ugly. Especially when you said in the previous episode that you both felt it was wrong for Abby to say that. I think itโ€™s important to stand on your morals and values.

SO many ads
Love this podcast and always look forward to the new episodes! However, half of the podcast is ads. I understand ads are necessary, but when itโ€™s an hour long podcast and thirty minutes is ads thatโ€™s a little excessive.
Ahdnfodn
Ads โ€ฆ.
The ads are absolutely insane I donโ€™t know a single pod that has this many or for this long + splitting episodes into two parts constantly has killed the momentum of the pod

Loving This!

Love listening to this podcast in the shower or while Iโ€™m cooking dinner Christi and Kelly are the best.

Stop reacting
Love you ladies. We live in a trash bag society and anyone can steal content off of the Internet or podcast platforms and tree the narrative they would like. Donโ€™t give it any energy and they will hopefully go away.

Obsessed!
Raised on Dance Moms as a kid and being able to have all the behind the scenes tea has been so amazing! So many burning questions answered. Such a great podcast. I listen to it while I workout and makes the time fly! Love it
GymboyAlex
saved me
every time i work i put on this podcast and my work day has never gone faster i only have to listen to a couple to get through my day and ill put it on when i can't use my hands on my phone. i'm on the verge of joining patreon for video content and deeper bts and knowing what happened that made the moms freak out is the best thing everything adds up

Amazing and in depth!
thanks for going behind the scenes and sharing what itโ€™s really like in the dance world! I danced for over 15 years and your girls always inspired me and made me want to be better. no matter what happened, yโ€™all are amazing.

Needs improvement
I understand splitting episodes into two parts because itโ€™s a hard time, especially since season 4 is a super tough season to watch. I do like all the behind the scenes and all the background info that actually happened. However, it takes way too long to actually get into the episode. I feel like if you wanted to talk about other stuff, that should be separate or at the end of the podcast rather than the beginning. It shouldnโ€™t take on average 20 minutes of random rambling before the actual podcast begins. I get it, some people may like it and Iโ€™m not one of those people. But I would rather have shorter episodes that get to the point rather than long dragged out episodes because they keep getting distracted.

Best podcast
Great podcast. Iโ€™ve binged this in the past few months and I love the honesty and the actual reality vs โ€œrealityโ€ that was shown to us for all these years. Itโ€™s sad to see what you and your children have gone through but you guys make it so funny and I just love it. Wish you guys the best! Thanks for everything!

Favorite dance moms
Kelly and Christi have always been my all time favorite moms on dance moms and I was beyond excited when I found out this podcast existed!! I have been listening nonstop and I just love it. They make me laugh so much and itโ€™s cool to hear what they remember and their perspective of situations in the show. Itโ€™s cool hearing what they remember and what their view was back then. Because I have always defended them and canโ€™t stand when people say โ€œthey were just jealousโ€ because they clearly do not understand. They were not jealous of Maddie.. they just wanted their daughters to get the same treatment and love that Maddie got. Which they still never did. Chloe, Brooke, and Paige have always been my favorite girls on the show and they were treated so bad by Abby so I just always rooted for them. But the only reason I did not give this five stars is because Kelly, girl.. after anything Christi says about a girl or how they treated or anything Kelly comes back and goes โ€œyeah and look at how Paige and Brooke were treatedโ€ like after every single thing. Like girl yes we know but letโ€™s talk about everyone. Anyone with common sense saw it and knows and understands that Paige and Brooke were treated awful by Abby. Paige, Chloe, and Brooke were the most mistreated. So yes Kelly and Christi can be upset about it but still Kelly my girl stop saying something after anything that happens to each girl.

Hi guys big fan of you
Defining gravity
Omg they need to tell the whole story!!!!!!!!
I honestly thought that they were all cry babies (tbh I am kinda one too for certain things) but why I thought that was because they didnโ€™t show the whole story because people are getting the wrong picture we want the truth!,we want the truth!,we want the truth!!!!!!!!! I need to know all the things she says to the kids. And when I was watching I was like Abbys calling the policeโ€ฆ.. You should be calling the police for Abby being Abby like you know what I mean. Also thx for the whole story

Christiโ€™s Affair
Christi when are you gonna address the affair rumors?
user5346524261
Comment deleted so I am reposting
NEWER AND UPDATED REVIEW 1-27-25: IS CHRISTI AGAIN MENTIONING TO SOMEONE ELSE THEY COULD LOSE WEIGHT WITH SOME GLP 1 DRUG? The last time i listened, she suggested kelly get it for brooks wedding (and this was when kelly just came off the treatments!) still as maiming commercials as my old review, if not more. The people saying were stupid for complainingโ€ฆ..touch grass. They donโ€™t start the show until a half hour in, before that itโ€™s mindless unrelated stuff to stretch out the ep to make it stretch to two eps. If 50% of your episodes are ads, you are killing your brand and podcast. Thatโ€™s flat out WRONG. People have the right to complain when it is 50% ad and what the other 10% is christi advising people to try ozempic? Quit projecting christi. I hope Chloe and Clara are okay, just imagine how close the daughters are with you that you advise Kelly and a producer ozempic, imagine what you ask your kids to try to lose weight. GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF CHIRSTI. DO YOU HAVE NO MANNERS? First of all, how dare you delete feedback of your show? If youโ€™re looking to better show or listen to your audience, donโ€™t delete my comment What I said: Christi needs to stop placing her own insecurities on Kelly. Iโ€™m constantly hearing โ€œyou can use ozempic kelly!โ€ โ€œYou still have until February to lose it before Brookeโ€™s wedding!โ€ Stop talking about other peopleโ€™s weight. Youโ€™re an adult, you know this. Your so called โ€œbest friendโ€ just got done with her cancer treatments. Who advises their best friend to try ozempic? What I also said: Itโ€™s frustrating the amount of ads in the episodes now. Within the past 3 weeks, theyโ€™ve taken up half of the episode. Not kidding. Then the first 25 minutes is them talking nothing related to the episode. No wonder why they have to split it in 2! Then they talk on their episodes basically โ€œwe need the ads, we hear your complaints but weโ€™re keeping the same amount inโ€. Do yall want people listening? Cause Iโ€™ve stopped

Stop talking bad about the way people look
Especially you, Kelly. Want us to make fun of the way you look? Stop it
Hobbes Parrott
Wouldnโ€™t change it!
Love it! Kellyโ€™s so real, and Christiโ€™s humor is literally on another level โœจ๐Ÿ’€I was dying. They spill all the Dance Moms tea but make it funny and chill. If you're into the drama and want that behind-the-scenes tea, this pod is an absolute must.๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– Especially loved when Melissa and Jill joined in this week! โœจ
freshbean
Full of ads, very little content.
They decided to split every episode despite the fans asking them not to. No full recaps and about ten minutes is ads: When the fans raise questions they block them. Seeing their true colors and it is extremely ugly.

I love this podcast
I listen during my workouts, in the car and I love it because you guys make me feel at home. Yall are so funny and down to earth I need you guys to go on tour or do a meet and greet or in person podcast. Love you guys!!! ๐Ÿฉท btwโ€ฆ i hope everyone knows that u can skip over the ads lol
Livfromaustin<3
boring & too many ads
when i first tuned in to bttb i liked it, overtime it just became very boring. it seems they just pull the transcript and read. iโ€™ve already watched every ep to know whatโ€™s going on, i want to know about things that we donโ€™t get to see. also, the amount of times an ad plays overall is ridiculous.
cammy00300
Not the best
Jesus this show used to be exciting and funny but now itโ€™s 75% add and 2% recap and 23% of the hosts saying each and every one of those girls deserved special treatment like Maddie ๐Ÿ™„ lord just recap the show please ๐Ÿ™ and stop these pt1 and pt 2 itโ€™s so annoying. 1 part per episode pleaseeeee.
alluyyyy
My favorite podcast EVER
I was watching Christiโ€™s YouTube channel and I put on her reacting to Dance Moms Ticktocks part 4 and saw this! Now I canโ€™t stop listening to this podcast!
Texas Girl 2013
50% commercials
Are used to like this podcast, but now itโ€™s ridiculous. Way way way too many commercials.
bendywendyoga
to much personal talk
you guys spend way to much time talking in the beginning, literally everyone skips that part itโ€™s so boring and long like save it for the after party.

Was great in the beginning but now has begun a fall from Grace!
The first few season of the recap were great. Lots of behind the scenes knowledge and information was given especially for listeners who did not subscribe to the Patreon. My issue has come in with the sudden switch of format to two part episodes without any formal announcement. I donโ€™t have an issue with a two parter but for every episode in season 4 to be a two parter is a bit confusing for me. These are less than 45 minute episode (if watched on a platform with no-ads subscription). So to hear that both host either only watched half the episode or didnโ€™t really watch is very annoying. Lastly, all the ads that come on every 10-15 minutes is a bit too much. Again, I am all for people getting their coins but at what cost. The listeners sanity. I hope the podcast gets some updates given on this being the new format because Iโ€™ve seen a lot of people are becoming unsatisfied. Just so people know, I am aware that both host have some personal things happening in their lives at the moment. While Iโ€™m emphatic and sympathetic. They chose to recap the series in an original format and to sudden change it with no explanation, especially for the viewers and listeners who donโ€™t follow the Patreon or Social Media. Feels unorganized and honestly like they donโ€™t really care at all. Compared to the first season recap.
